"What are you Doing Now"?

.
I engage in friendships that compose of  nearly hourly phone calls.....convos are started with

"what are you doing now"? instead of hello

firstly the form of friendship seduced me...then I realized that it reinforced  one of my qualities most
worthy of eradicating...a reporting of mundane activities

The behavior also embodies  a blind functioning that promotes more expected reactions

then immediate instinctive responses
